Seems to have worked well in most renown world military organizations for a long time. It also seems to have worked well in the sport of boxing for a very long time. Boxing coaches, good ones, keep in tune to the psychological state of their fighters. Traditionally in boxing boxing coaches attempt to protect their young novice pugilist in training from becoming "glove shy" which can result from getting outclassed in the ring before you have psychologically matured as a fighter.
I do not underestimate the power of the mind and heart, and neither did Bonaparte Napoleon author of the maxim, "The moral is to the physical what the three is to the one." He should know, he marched troops of the early financially broken Republic, barefoot for miles into combat, where he and his men earned victory not defeat.
